Thoughts on this Hamilton Watch

I can probably get it on ebay for half that price.

The balance of the dial looks off to me. 44mm is generously sized. The hands are too small and the sub-dials are bunched too closely in the middle. IMO, the 7750 looks best in a 40-42mm chronograph. It's not a bad watch, just a little busy for my taste.

FWIW, I also know of an authorized dealer that can probably get that piece for 50% off with warranty if you are interested.

I love Hamiltons, but I agree with the above comments. This one has too much going on. Check out the khaki auto chrono, that is a very nice looking watch.

I bought this watch off the B&S forum a few weeks ago (EDIT: I actually got the khaki action chrono, which is half price of the khaki automatic chrono....my bad). It is pretty nice, but the watch is small (35mm), especially for a chrono. However my wrist is somewhat small so it doesn't look too off. Also I took off the leather band which was somewhat thick and replaced it with ribbon bands in order to give more proportion to the watch. It is a great value.

I agree with the others that Hamiltons are great but best in other styles.

Maybe if your pilot friends call you Sully.

Whoa, i don't like that hamilton watch in the original link at all. Busy, bulky, and it looks cheap to me. But then I prefer vintage hamiltons, anyway....
